Right maxillary sinus protruding into the right middle nasal passage may be associated with right maxillary sinus mucous cyst, right maxillary sinus hemorrhagic polyp, right maxillary sinus squamous cell carcinoma and other diseases. Whether to treat this feature or not cannot be decided simply by referring to the presence or absence of discomfort, but needs to be judged comprehensively according to the etiology and characteristics of the disease.
1. Mucus cyst of right maxillary sinus: the main reason of this disease is that the natural opening of the sinus is completely blocked, and the secretion inside the sinus is retained, which gradually forms a mucus cyst. The growth process of the cyst is often preceded by displacement of the lateral wall of the nasal cavity towards the nasal septum and collapse of the hard palate. When the cyst is large, symptoms such as nasal congestion, runny nose and loss of smell may also occur.
2. Hemorrhagic polyp of right maxillary sinus: this disease is a special type of chronic inflammation of sinus characterized by bleeding. Occurring in the right maxillary sinus, nasal inflammation, nasal polyps force the maxillary sinus medial wall to move or destroy, resulting in sinus cavity swelling protruding from the middle nasal passage and nasal cavity can cause nasal congestion. If accompanied by infection, the nasal cavity can appear odor.
3. Squamous cell carcinoma of right maxillary sinus: long-term chronic inflammation, frequent exposure to carcinogenic substances, malignant transformation of benign tumors and low immunity can lead to the occurrence of this disease. If it occurs in the right maxillary sinus, it can grow with the swelling and push the maxillary sinus into the right middle nasal passage. Although there may be no specific symptoms in the early stages, the malignant nature of the lesion still dictates that the disease needs to be treated aggressively.
When the lateral maxillary sinus is found to protrude into the right middle nasal passage, it is necessary to actively consult a doctor for a systematic examination to clarify the diagnosis and cause of the disease, and then follow the doctor’s instructions to standardize the treatment.
